Question 337506: Solve the polynomial equation by factoring and then using the zero product principle:
5x^3+4x^2=20x+16
Answer choices:
A.) {-4/5, 2}
B.) {-2, 2}
C.) {-4/5, 0}
D.) {-2, -4/5, 2} Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x^3+4x^2=20x+16
5x^3+4x^2-20x-16=0
x^2(5x+4)-4(5x+4)=0
(5x+4)(x^2-4)=0
(5x+4)(x+2)(x-2)=0
x= -4/5, -2,+2
D is correct
